Having lost his entire platoon years ago from an ambush, Leo Graves hasn't been able to overcome the immense sense of guilt he feels about surviving. The only solace he finds in the civilian world is his position of VP in the Lima Six Motorcycle Club--a 1% club made up entirely of former veterans on the small border town of Vallecito de Grande. Jamie is more than just another girl associated with the club. Tough as nails and the sister of an active duty Marine, Jamie Boyles supplements her income by helping the MC launder much of its illicit profits through her bar. Never one to back down from a challenge, she understands exactly the kind of danger that both her and the club faces from across the border. When the club's conflict across the border reaches a dangerous breaking point, Leo knows it's only a matter of time before Jamie is caught in the cross-fire. With the cartel's ruthless reputation for going after any and all loved ones of their enemies, Leo is determined to keep Jamie safe. But will the ghosts of his past return to haunt him or is there still a sliver of hope for love to prevail? How far is either of them willing to go to keep each other safe? less

His failure dregs up bitter memories—memories that leave him feeling powerless—but something doesn't feel right, and the more he looks into it, the less sense everything seems to make. The only constant in his life is Jamie, who has been a godsend—an anchor that keeps him rooted in the stormy prison of his own mind. Jamie's brother is coming home... and she's terrified of what's waiting for him... moreHe is determined to never repeat the past.

EXCERPT She shivered at his touch, the delicate draw of his finger along her skin sending a crackling pleasure through her. She reached for his shirt but he caught her hands again. “No…” he whispered as he slowly stepped behind her. His hands glided over her, sliding down to her lower stomach. As she felt his breath on her neck he pulled her into him, holding her comfortably tight, as his lips began a measured exploration of her neck. As his lips caressed her skin, she wanted to squirm in pleasure and not move, lest she interrupt the delicious pleasures emanating from his touch. He breathed deep as his lips slowly danced along her neck, her scent, the light fragrance of apples and baby powder a heady bouquet. He kissed up her neck, pausing under her ear, his lips and tongue busy in the spot he knew she liked so well. He brought his hands slowly up and began to work her buttons, the darkness that had attempted to reclaim his soul disappearing like smoke in a wind. less

EXCERPT “I’ve told you before, I’m not that easy to kill.” He scooted away from her and rolled her to her back so he could look into her eyes. “I can’t die now. I have this thing I need to do.” She gasped out a laugh and sniffed again before wiping her eyes. “What’s that?” “This,” he smiled as he leaned down and kissed her gently. “But what about tomorrow. And the next day?” she asked softly as their lips parted. “I worry.” He kissed her again. “I’ll need to do this again tomorrow. And the next day. And the day after that.” She stared at him a moment then sniffed again. “I’m serious.” “So am I.” less
